John Scott Builds His Daughter a Theatre

This image is a three-dimensional rendering of the area where the Sans Pareil was to be
constructed. It clearly shows the buildings in Bayley’s Alley behind 411 Strand, which were to
become his daughter’s theatre.

3D Simulation Where John Scott Will Build

This is a 3D simulation based on Richard Horwood's Map of London. Completed in 1799, publication dates from 1792 to 1799.

John Scott (c. 1742-1838), who built the Sans Pareil Theatre, had his shop and residence at 419 Strand from 1782-1787. He moved
to 417 Strand in 1787. In 1804, Scott bought the leases to the 11 building surrounding Bayley's Alley behind 411 Strand. He
converted the buildings to a theatre for his daughter, Jane, which opened in 1806 as the Sans Pareil Theatre. In later maps, there
is no Bailey's Alley, and the surrounding 11 buildings have become the Theatre. Over the years, 409 & 410 Strand became part of the
Adelphi, as did 18, 19, & 20 Maiden Lane. Bayley's Alley no longer exist.

An interesting sidelight to this map is the name "Bullen Court." On later maps, "Bull Inn Court" appears.
